Why does my head hurt? And good nursing

howeirdIt's been a 4 Tylenol day about to be 6. Stress is some of it.
Changed Spook's litterbox cartridge, and took both and a bag of trash out to the trash bin. Much heavy lifting aided by the walker platform/seat. Still a struggle getting up the steps. Back door cam was not registering the solar panel, it took a couple of battery removals and repositionings to fix that. If they were not os expensive I'd buy another cam to replace it. Also it's mounted on the wall so a PIA to replace.
Breakfast was a banana
Had lunch out on the porch
With a visitor
When I was done and got up to chat with neighbors. my pants were soaked. The catheter estension tube had pulled loose.
I changed pants but it did it again, so I called for a nurse visit. It took a few phone calls to find the on-call nurse and establish that the backup LPN was away. Sherry did finally arrive in plenty of time (it just needed to be fixed before bedtime). 4:10 pm. She gave me a smaller bag and a leg strap which holds the tubes in place with a clever catch. She also helped me get my legs up at heart level in the recliner, something I cannot do on my own yet.
Put pants on, opened the Mom's Meals package, 14 meals, mostly lunch/dinner and a bunch of small oranges, bread-like objects including one English muffin, too much apple sauce and a fruit cup. I had to take one of the Murray's chocolate strudels out of the fridge to make room for the meals, so a slice of that was dessert after sweet & sour chicken.
Still need to decide what to do with the bread & oranges.
Found a lift recliner for a reasonable price, which also looks easy to put together, and bought it. Will make the LazyBoy the aquarium chair and put the not completely functioning aquarium chair out for bulk garbage maybe in 2 weeks.
Watched a lot of Texas game warden TV. Puzzled, none of them have Nintendo or PS5 or even a virtual reality headset.
I am angered at how many images of #45 are being broadcast on CNN, MSNBC - this is what got him elected in the first place. P.T. Barnum: “There's no such thing as bad publicity,” “I don't care what the newspapers say about me as long as they spell my name right.”
Tomorrow:
Late - haul the two cold pack boxes down to the curb. May have to push them with the walker. Or may not.
Relax
Watch the Olympics closing ceremonies. It will be good to see that travesty end.
Watch Graham Norton with my feet up
